Exploration Academy is designed to be an innovative program to inspire and engage students and educators with STEM learning activities. Using hands-on activities to teach major lessons, the program provides students with practical applications as well as a more holistic and social view of science. Students learn, understand and seek solutions to problems that not only affect our communities but also afflict the world. The topics of study encompass the International Space Station’s (ISS) water, air, and electrical systems, alongside Earth’s own water filtration, air/atmosphere, electrical, solar and renewable energy systems.
